Don't speculate when you don't know, and don't second guess when you do.

It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

Haven't logged on in quite some time. Just before clicking on Optics I wondered if there was a Leupold 6x thread on page 1 as I remembered a lot of items on this scope.
Too funny. There is this thread.
Guess what sits atop my 30.06 ? Is this scope still popular or what?

Generally any retailer who carries Leupold products has to agree to sell at MSRP. I've never seen any discounts on a current production Leupold product. Some that have been discontinued yes.
Some retailers may offer free shipping, I get CC points for anything I buy at Cabelas with my card. Sometimes Cabelas sends me a $25-$50 or even a $75 off coupon good for anything in the store or catalog. I once used $200 worth of points I'd accumulated along with a $75 off Coupon combined with free shipping to buy a Leupold. But it was priced at MSRP.
I've also seen some retailers offer a cheap pair of binoculars, or maybe mounts thrown in free with a Leupold purchase. But once again, the scope was always the same price as anyone else.
Most people don't really want the truth.
They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.

You may be confusing a VX 6 with 6x. The VX6 is top of the line from Leupold and a 6x scope is merely the power magnification. Both are very popular though.

I've been going to Optics Planet. They currently have Leupolds on sale.
I prefer classic.

I'm going to have to check out the site JGRaider put up when I get time later but like jmr said, I too, have never seen a current Leupold "on sale". I've seen them with $50 rebates and such but not where a retailer themselves had marked off of the price.

That okefe link from drano25 is worthy of a look, sorta gotta dig around a bit. Besides the vx-6, for example VX-Rs under $450, FX3 6x42 under $360. Seemed to be free shipping as well.

If you're a certified Hunter safety instructor Leupold offers you one optic @ 45% off MSRP & 6 accessories @ 60% off per year. The window for ordering is March thru September IIRC and delivery can be slow but it's a generous program.

Anyone buying a Leup (or any other scope) would be wise to listen to JG's above advise. "Call" being the key word. There are others too.

I have had very good luck with pricing and free shipping by calling Euro Optics. And if you pay via check over the phone, you get another 3% off. Tell them you are a 24HCF member.

I met a French guy the other day. I asked him "Do you speak German?" He said "No." I said "You're welcome!"
